GIPSIES IN JUTE A Nnw......The people which go by the name of Bohemians in Prance, of Gipsies in Eng land, Git ano s in Spain, Z igeuner in Germany, and Zingari in Italy, are in Denmark; Norway, and Swe den, called Tatere or Taterne. The old Danish laws are very severe in their enactments ag a i ns t thi s vaga bond race. The Norwegian directs the confiscation of any vessel bringing them to the country. In the De lilah islands there are a few—rnore in the not very thioldv peopled district of Jutland. lir the northern part of this province is a race of people whose descent is traced f rom the gipsies, and who are Called Kid tringsfolk or Natnuendsfolk. It consists of about no persons, one half of whom have fixed dwelling s , em ploying themselves in skinning cattle, sweeping chim neys, and such uncertain offices ; the other half wan der about, and are the dread of the country, on account of their thefts mid, revengeful dispositions.— Nyt Afienblad. A Special General Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was held yesterday. The Chairman (Sir G. A. Robinson) acquainted the Court that it was made special, at the request of some Proprietors—first, for, the purpose of calling on the Direc tors to lay before the Proprietors the intended -rules and regulations , which the executive body is empowered to frame, under the act of the last session, for the examina tion in the various requisite branches of knowledge of such young men as are about to proceed to India in the capacity of writers, without having studied at Haileybury College; and, secondly, clilling on the Court of Directors to instruct their Governments abroad to abolish, immediately, the odious practice of paying the civil servants iu sicca ru pees, and the army in a less valuable currency, called so nat rupees • and to prevent all discontent from the conti nuance of this unreasonable distinction among the King's, or Company's civil, military, and naval functionaries, in future, by the whole receiving their respective allowances in the same species, or equitable rates of the local coins, where such papnents are made. LORD A M aims?. Colonel L. Stanhope wished, before the Court proceed ed with the business of the hty, to put a question to the Hon. Chairmen, He understood, from very high authority in British India, that above 1,000,000 guineas per month wereixpendedizt the Burmese war, and he desired to know whether his Majesty's Ministers, who had acted with so much wisdom in other things—who were, he thought, the greatest Ministers this country ever had—were.so ob stinate on one point as, notwithstanding the universal feel ing; which prevailed against Lord Amherst. in India, to continue him in his present situation ? Because, if they did, he must say that this great expenditure was calculated to accelerate the decline and downfall both of the Company and the country ; for the debt thus accumulated was, in fact, the debt of England. The Chairman said, this was a Court specially sum moned to take into consideration certain motions now on the paper, and it was quite, contrary to custom to bring on for discussion any matter that was not specifically before them ; so that, if he were even, prepared to state wha t was the intentions of his Majesty's Ministers (with whose se crets he certainly was not acquainted ~it would be utteily impossible for him, situated as the Court was, to gratify the curiosity of the Grallant Colonel on the point to which he had alluded.. Colonel L. StaubOpe could not but express his regret that a million of guineas should be expended every month on the Burmese. war, while the mechanics of England were in a state of starvation: PAY or TiIit.CIVIL AND MILITAUY SERVICE. _ . Dr. Gilchrist then rose to submit to the Court his re solution relative to the difference which had long subsisted between:the mode in which payment was made to the Company's servants in the civil and military departments. He believed it would not be denied by any man, that in all countries the civil power should have the superio rity over: that of a military nature; and he thought also that it was fair that the civil power in India should, per haps, have a higher allowance than was granted to the military ; because the military officer entered the service with a chivalric wish to obtain honour and glory; and, in the course of his career, he often fell in with plunder 'to which the civilian was a stranger. But stilt . . them swum not be such a distinctiox between the two services as was likely to create ill-feeling. The Learned Doctor then, at some length, expatiated on the hardship and injustice which were inflicted on the military officer, who was paid in the - Sonat rupee, while his son, who happened to be a civilian, was paid in the Sicca rupee, which was a coin of more value. This system, when he was in Bengal, had been a cause of great heart-burning. It still continued to be so, and the evil ought to be' removed as soon as.pos sible. To prove the hardship imposed upon military of ficers by the existing system, the LearnedDoetor read an eitract from a work lately 'published by" a King's officer," in which -the author calculates that the military servant, in consequence of being paid in Sonia rupees, actually re ceived 9 per cent. less than the civilian; and he also read an eatract'of a private letter, in which the writer com plained of the additional lots that was sustained 'when mo ney was remitted to this country for the support of a sick wife or distressed relative. In conclusion the Learned Doctor moven— " That, considering the manifold advantages of reconciling the feelings and interests of the various public department* and official communities at the different presidencies in Eritish India with each other, in every branch' of the service, this Court ieconnnendS that the Executive Government there be instructed to abolish imj mediately the odious practice of paying the civil servants in Siccii rupees, and the army in a less valuable currency, called Sonat ru pees, to prevent all discontent from the continuance of this unrea sonable distinctio n among the King's, or Company's civil, militaiy, and naval functionaries in future, by the whole receiving their re spective allowances in the carne special, or equitable rates of the local coins, where each payments are made." Colonel L. Stanhope seconded the motion. In doing this, he feared there were persons in that Court who th o ught that those who brought .forward such subjects were treading on dangerous ground. It' was true they were talking of the wrongs and oppressions of distant armies—of troops whose armour was buckled on—with a pest prevailing m their camp, and, would it were not so, with Lord Amherst 'directing their war council. He called on the Court of . Directors, by a wise and judicious poliey, to a vert these evils which were always produced by the machinations of a discontented army. If ,they were un mindful 'of history, surely they could not . shut their eyes agaitutt thete important events, Which were, he might tray, seeing at this moment in diff erent countries. They had, p m their own times, seen, that armies had, under, peculiar circumstances, taken the lead in rebellion. In former times, such had been the case in this country. At a later period they had seen France, Spain, Italy, Sicily, and still more recently, they had beheld Russia, South A mer i ca, and Turkey, all shaken by military rebellions; while ere inin-America,, England, and Switzerland, Wh the people had a voic e; an d the press was free , none of these commo tions had been known. He called upon the Court of Directors, who had the good fortune.!o exercise !Dower—. to exercis e d om i n i on — an d who had also the good fortune to be paid largely for the performance of those duties' which devolved upo n t h em ( t h e y were not, indeed, paid in inoney, but each of them had, yearly, to the atnount of 12,0001. in Pstr"age)--,-he called on, them :to do justice to their own civil, and their own military servants, and also to his hla jesty's serv ants in Indi a . This was the true way to secure their interests ; and he must observe that he. was the mere anxious to Ball which he their attention to the Kin 's Serkice, in had the honour of holdin,V. a station, because it wits not represented behind the bar. The Gallant : Colonel then Went into ti detail of the manner in which' the three armies of li rtga ) , m adras, and Bombay Were paid) and argued that they ought all to be placed on the same fOoting.- The Ch a i rman was of opinion that the Court would fe el ' with him that th e y could not enter into a discussion of question of this kind, without its bei attended with ina terial inconvenience to th e P public se rvice.He certainly of tact would contend that, in p o i nt ' • • ustice, breach of , no inj contract had taken place, in reg ar d the terms on k,ompany's serv ice, t t h e m ilit ar y enter ed into the tA) • h , r and in con fo rm i ty with which - they were now palo. • (11 "07-7Before a case could be ma d e out to just l y such a motion as that now before the Court, it must be esta blished that something like injustice exists at present with regard to the mode in which the military servants are paid, in contradistinction to those who act in a civil capacity. It might be supposed from the speeches of the Hon. mover and seconder, that each of the two services were paid in a distinct species of coin—that the civilians were paid in Sicca, while the military were paid in Santa rupees. This was not the case. When the Company ori ginally came into the possession of the country, the Sonat rupee formed the standard currency of most parts of the country out of the vicinity of Calcutta. Sicca rupees were immediately afterwards coined by the Company at three different stations; and it was the practice at that time to mark the rupee with the year in which it, was coined. It became the practice to distinguish the value of the different rupees, according to the time they had been in circulation; and from the circumstances of their being coined at different stations, it was very much the habit to circulate and. receive rupees only at the value which they.bore within, those dieticts_ where they were originally coined. The consequence was, that a most exorbitant profit was derived from this system by the ThrOffs throughout the country. It was therefore the object of the Government about the year 1792, to estab lish only one currency throughout the countries subject to the Presidency of Bengal ; and they then established it as a rule, that Sicca rupees, described to be of the 19th year of the reign of the Emperor, should be considered as the standard of value, throughout the Company's provin ces. Some time before this, the Company's arms had made considerable progress in the adjoining district of Benares, and the higher provinces in those districts.---' , - Two species of rupees were then in circulation, the Benares and another; but for these was received equal value as for that species which was called the Sonat rupee, and the whole of , the Company's armies were paid in that coin. They were,' therefore, quite on a footing out of Bengal. It was very true, that when the Bengal provinces were paid in the Sicca rupee there was a re duction 'nude of Ali 'per cent., on account of the greater in trinsic value of that rupee. But surely this was not un just. It never could be said, that if for some, particular or general purpose the Government abroad deemed it ne cessary to have a new coinage, 60 per cent. ,superior in intrinsic worth to the Sicca rupee, and caused such coinage to be received as the general currency, it never could be said, that therefore the army had a just claim to be paid in that species of money, without deduction,which was of so much more intrinsic value. With respect to the difference been the value of coin in India, and its produce when remftted,to this country, lie had only to say that, it was a questioit yvhiCh did'not depend. on the plea-, sure, of. the Government. Remittances. from India to, England, must be regulated by the rate of commercial ex changes ; and, when complaint..was made that the soldier! did not receive what he ought to expect, when the ex-. change was at 2s. 6d. it might as well be said, that he was over paid, when, at onetime, *hid) was in the recollection of all, he received 2s. 9d. per Sicca rupee in this country., (Hear, bear.)—The Hon. - Chairman concluded by de claring his intention to move the previous question. The Deputy Chairman (the Hon. Hugh Lindsay) sug ' ested to. the Hon..lkiover, th e propriety of withdrawing his motion, after what. had fallet from the Honourable 'Chairman. 41+0.glbe—tlarit.110 first .riwt of thia...est , tleal, which had been left altogether out of sight—namely, how far the rules and regulations of the three presidencies might be reconciled to each other—was of infinitely more importance than that portion of it which had been de bated. •The Hon. Proprietor then expatiated on the great inconvenience which individuals, connected with different establishments, but serving at the same place, had expe rienced, iii consequence of receiving different rates of pay, some Much greater than others. The Chairman said, in explanation, that with respect to the military service, every man entered it with a per feet knowledge that - he was to be paid in the Sonat rupee, and therefore he contended, that those who, knowing this, entered' the service, had no cause of complaint; With respect to 'hat had been said of the inequality of , the advantages which accrued to the trooks of different presidencies, engaged ,on the same service, he could positively state, from his own experience, ever since he was in the direction, that there had been the most anxious , desire .to equalize them as far as possible, and that positive instructions had been sent out to India to effect that object—(hear).; and he believed that con siderable advances had been made towards it. They had also made considerable progress in assimilating the Indian currency.' They had brought the Bombay and Madras rupee very near each other in intrinsic Value. Thy had not on y done that, but they had brought them near the Sonat rupee. Nothing, he thought was more desirable than to establish a general currency, in which there should be no difference. - But gentlemen would recollect that many parts of the Company's territory had been acquired .by conquest. recently, and that the governments of the countries which existed before the Company's conquests had established rupees of their own curreney, which ren dered it very tlifficult to make the proposed alteration.-- Still, however, 'it had been the wish of the Court of Di rectors to bring, as near as they could, the currency of all India to one standard. It would be of incalculable benefit both to individuals and to the public; but it was quite Clear that so many interests were mixed up with the 'al teration that it was impossible to effect it suddenly. After some few further observations from Captain Max field, Mr. Trant, Mr. S. Dixon, and Mr. Pattison, the motion was withdrawn. EDUCATION OF WRITERS. Mr. Hume, referring to the motion calling on the direc tors to lay before the proprietors the rules and regulations, formed by the executive body, for the examination of young men about to proceed to India as writers, without having studied at. Haileybury, observed, that it would, perhaps, save the time of the Court, if the Hon. ch a i rman een to in g ad i give i t u h t e ra it; t e i ret s ; would state what, progress had h regulations. The great object was at a proper time, an opportunity for scanning the merits of those regulations when they were perfected. The Chairman answered, that the subject was now in the course of adjustment between the Board of Control and the Court of Directors ; and when it was settled be tween those bodies, it would be the duty of th e C our t o f Directors to mak e the result as public as th ey p oss ibl y could.--(Hear.) Mr. Hume.-Is -- it to be understood that none of the young men w ill b e perm i tte d to go out until a certa i n t i me after these test s h ave b een a greed on, and until they have been examined in con f o rmity ,with them The Chai rman . —C erta i n ly not. They will not go out until long afterwards. Dr. Gilchrist wished to know whether there was any intention of effecting a monopoly of the education of these young met-I.—which would be a worse monopoly than that of sugar ? because his wish was to extend seminaries all over the country ; and he should be sorry that any scheme w ere set on foot to prevent parents from having their children educated tnitler their own eyes ? The Chairman was not only ready to give n egative, hut most positive inflrmation to the Learned Doctor on this subject. He could assure the Learned Doctor, that no thing was more remote from the minds of those who were LOSS OF TX! ROYAL GEORGE. The Chairman laid before the Court a resolution of the Court of Directors of the .sth instant, exonerating from all blame Captain Timins, the owners, officers, and crew of the Rayal George East Indiaman, which was unfortunately burned. Friday, the 4th of August, was appointed for taking the ballot on the above resolution. The Court then adjourned. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDFORD. TIM XING V. SIX RAWIN ILAYNTON SANDTS, HAAT. This was an indictment .on the prosecution of William Jones, Esq. Marshal of the King's Bench Prison, against the defendant, for escaping,from the rules of that prison, within which he had been confined in execution fur debt, at the suit of Charles and Henry Bird. _ _ _ . Mr. Bolland stated that the defendant was confined within the Rules .of the King's Bench, in execution for debts to the amount of 1,100/. • • Mr. Ambrose Parish, clerk to the Marshal's Clerk, proved that the defendant was in execAlou in the King's I Bench Prison froM Feb. 1822 , to Jan. a '; , and during that time had the privileges of the rules::: : Nathaniel Gibbons proved, that in October last he saw the defendant at Misserden, in Gloucestershire. Mrs Juliana Woodley, of No. 95, Great Russel -street, Bloomsbury, proved that the defendant and Lady Sandys occupied apartments in her house for about six or eight weeks last autumn. This was the case for the prosecution. . .. . _ . Mr. Adolphus then addressed the Jury, in an able L.nd powerful speech, in behalf of the defendant. The Learned Judge summed up the case. The Jury found the defendant - Guiliy. The Learned Judge then suggested that the justice of the case, and the object of the prosecution, would probably be attained if the judgment were respited. To this the Counsel for the prosecution acceded. Mr. Jones observed, that during a very short time he had sustained a loss of 4,000/. or , 5,0004 by escapes of prisoners from the rules. The defendant then entered into security, himself in 1001., and two sureties in SU each, to come up for judg ment if he should be called upon. WARWICK, AiONDAV, JULY '24. The Judges on this Circit arrived here on Saturday, evening, from Coventry. The calendar, notwithstanding; that the Sessions have so recently occurred, contains thei names of upwards of 70 persons for trial. Some of the charges are serious in the extreme. There are three Bank prosecutions. SitAKESPRATi, V. RANDALL. This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the I defendant, a coach proprietor, for alleged negligencei throughuandelythe-pleintiff's horse was much injured...mid his gig broken. It appeared from the evidence on the pa, t of the plaintiff that he, accompanied by his brother-in-law, was in his gig, when the coach, of which the defendant is the proprietor, drove against it in a most violent manner, and carried away the wheels. The gig was afterwards repaired at Mr. Randall's expence. The horse was aged, but it was contended that on that account he was the More valuable; as he was the more 'quiet. On the part of the defendantit was contended; that as the horse was now older, he wa4 the less valuable and witnesses were - called to show that the defendant was in liquor. The cross-examination or one of these witnesses by, Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, excite 4 much merriment— t What, he was in liquor ?—I thought so. Very drunk ?—I thought so. What did he look like ?—Why, you see, I thought so; you see, I us'd to pull up at his house, you see, and he didn't look us he usually did. What, you couldn't pass his house without pulling up ? Does he keep a public-house, my friend P—Yes. I thought so. What, then, you could not pass this man's'hOuse without pulling up? PraY, have you not hurl some liquor in you to-day ?—Not much. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan having replied, The Jdry returned a verdict for .the mages 101. CROWN COURT, JULY 25.

The Judges entered this city late on Saturday after noon, and were met by the Lord Bishop of Durham, who, as chief civil officer of this county palatine, performed all the ordinary duties of a Sheriff. CIVIL V. TAYLOR. This was an action to recover compensation for an in jury said - to have arisen to the plaintiff, from an alleged de ficiency in the contents of 27 half-barrels-of ale, which the defendant, who was the agent and representative of Messrs. Estoffe and Co., ale brewers, in this comity, had sold to the, plaintiff. This cause had been before the court on se veral previous occasions, the plaintiff having brought no less than three actions of the same kind, and having, besides, preferred an indictment for perjury, which he stated to have been committed by' some of the witnesses in these actions. In the last action which he tried against the present defendant, he sued in forma pouperis ; and on the present occasion he appeared in person, and conducted the ease in Isis own behalf, alleging that a want of pecuniary means prevented him fmin employing counsel. It ap peared that Messrs. Estoffe and Co. had brought an action against him to recover a sum of 20?., claimed to be due upon a balance of accounts between hint and them. When he was arrested at their suit, he went into prison, whete he, had remained ever since, and was brought up in cus tody of an officer to conduct the present action. tu, manner of doing this was so irregular and so ill-connected as to render it difficult to collect the circumstances of the case.—Verdict for the defendant. EXETER, MoxoAs, Jut 24. ci ya, smt.--RTDDAWAY AGAINST COMM, MIRK. This AS an action by a farmer against the defendant, a magistrate}jets of the county, and a clergyman, to recover dalna s for imprisoning the plaintiff, without any reason able cause, for the space of twelve wee k s . Mr. Sergeant Wilde stated the plaintiff's ease to the Jury,' but, from the subsequent course which the trial took, that statement must be considered as in some aim eure ex-partr, the cause being disposed of before the de fendant's Couns4.4 was heard. The Learned Judge (Sir J. Littledale) here called upon the counsel on both sides to speak w ith hint, A discus- John Front, aged 38, Thomas Row, aged 18, and Peter Avery, aged 30, one being a barber, another an appren . tice, and the other, we believe, a shoemaker, were indicted for riotously assembling with many others at Woolbo rough, and nialciug a great noise and. disturbance there, Ott the 14th of November last. The prisoners. expressing .their regret at their conduct, and the Crown officers declaring .that nothing was desired by the Excise but due and lawful protection for its officers,. and those who were connected with the discharge of its duties, the prosecution was not pressed; and a verdict of guilty was taken by consent against two of the prisoners, who were bound in their own recognizances for their good bfhaviour, and a verdict of acquittal by consent was taken ai against .the other. intoine Joseph, a Portuguese sailor, was indicted for stealing 130 sheep, - the property of William Bond. The prisoner, who seemed in appearance and conduct to :be an unhappy maniac, was discharged only a fews ago from the Exeter Bridewell. There seemed to be no doubt 'of the poor creature's disorder of mind, and the Jury, un der the Judge's direction, acquitted him on the ground of insanity; and he was accordingly ordered into con finement. Robert Marshall, aged 19, was indicted under the Act generally called Mr. Banker's Act, for being bet Ween four, and five in the morning of the 9th of February in an in closed ground, at Plympton, belonging to the Earl of Morley, armed with a gun, with intent to kill game. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty between five and six ; but after five in the ,morning in question. This, the learned Judge told them, amounted to..not guilty, and he directed a verdict accordingly. The prisoner was again indicted for assaulting James Roach, the keeper, on the occasion above referred to. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty—Sentence post poned. TUESDAY, JULY 25. • William ; .Dodd, apparently aged about 36, was indicted for assaulting Sarah tads German, on the morning of Fri day last, with intent to ravish her. There was a second count for a common assault. ... The pritioner was formerly a soldier in the-last Indies, from which he returned only about six weeks since. It. is understood that he acquired some property in India, as well as succeeding to some patrimony in this county. The case was most extraordinary throughout ; not the least ex traordinary pare of it being, that the offence in question was committed the day . before the prisoner was married; and that he was taken into custody on . the capital charge, as be and his wife were returning from the church. The capital charge was afterwards abandoned. • Sarah Oads German was called and examined by Mr. Merewether.,--She was a pretty girl, and apparently in nocent and artless. She said she was 15 years old the Ist day of the present year; that she had lived three years and a half with her present master and mistress, Mr. and Mrs. Whittear, of Wooriuvw, near the town of Moreton Hamp stead. On Thursday evening last she obtained leave from her Mistress to go to the fair at Moreton Hampstead. Her own mother lives close to the town. She had been accus tomed to go the fair on former occasions, with the same permission. She was in the fair a great many hours, in company with another young woma n , who aft erwar d s left her. At the Bell Inn there was dancing; she went into the dancing room, but did not dance herself. At about two in the morning, she saw the prisoner there among the company. He asked her in a whisper to go along with him. She, in a whiaper, also, declined doing to. Shortly afterwards she .was coming away, when the prisoner fol lowed her into the pessage, and forced h er into the par lour, where there were several persons. She was going to call out, but the prisoner stopped her. She , was frightened. He then wanted her to driak Some spirits; she refused; but he fOreed the tumbler up to her mouth. She remained there about half an IMO or more. He had asked her whether she was going home that night to her master's, which is two miles from the town alonga lone road. She said she intended to go to her mother's for the remainder of the night, and return to' her master's iii the morning. She came away just before three o'clock. He came after her, and said she should not go to her mother's but to her master's. He took her arm in his by force, and took her in that direction. They passed by a fairing stall (the fair still going on); she stopped in order to purchase a fairing for her master's children. He there bon ht some sweetmeats end offered them to her; She refused them, but he placed them on her arm. When they had got eboutamile on the road, he opened the gate of a field, forced her in, took her . a good way along the side of the inner hedge, and then threw her down.- 7 --(.Here she gave a description of facts not to be detailed.) She wanted to go home, and cried very much. He would not let her. He then car ried her to a down, where he again threw her, and re peated what he had done before., She declared she resisted to the utmost of her power, but he succeeded. He then took her to a copse, where he three times repeated what he had done before. (The answer given to the particular question, which might be a test. as to the capital, offence, 'was always given in the negative.) This brought them to seven o'clock in the morning, nearly two miles from her master's house. Be then left,lfer; asking her to meet him that evening, but she refused. He said he would buy her a new suit of clothes, take her to Exeter, and thence to London, it' she would go off with him. This also she refused. He particularly wanted her not to tell what had passed. She declared she would. She arrived a t her master's house about ten o'clock. Sawher mistress ; but believes she 4id not see her. Went up stairs; chang ed her gown, took off her bonnet, which Was torn and tumbled, and came down stairs. Her mistress asked her where she had been all night. She then told her mistress all the truth ; as she did .afterwards to her mother, her uncle, and her master on the same day. She underwent a strict cross examination by Mr. Jeremy, for the prisener, but by this her evidence was not shaken.• Had never seen the prisoner before.
